Alas, how many users go upgrading their BIOS, SCSI, SATA, or other
firmware simply because they've discovered there is a new version. They
haven't a clue if they need it but it is new and that is why they need
it. After all, the main impetus for new car purchases has nothing to do
with the usability of their old car. They've been indoctrinated via
marketing, mostly television, to obey the "newer is better" mantra. The
marketing industry is quite well practiced at convincing us of what they
want us to believe that we need.
